Extreme stippling is a little known combat sport. Dot to the death! *ahem* This was done on a family-visit-vacation when I had some time on my hands but had to pretend I was still involved in the conversation. The light was bad and I probably took six years of life out of my eyes with this piece, but all in the name of art. 8.5 x 11, black felt tipped pen. Included in a coloring book.  05-04

It may have taken years out of your eyes to create this, but look at all the eyes you got in return! beautiful drawing (or 'dotting') but I don't know where you get the patience. so many dots and no lines would drive me mad.

Your ladies, fairies, and females of the species in general are always so elegant and serene. I love everything about your forest and those fairy wings are exquisite. Your work is breathtakingly beautiful...always. I'm proud to own one of your originals. One of our art collaborations (a unicorn) has been accepted for publication by Sam's Dot Publishing. I've asked the editor(Tyree Campbell) to mail your modest payment and contributor's copy directly to you upon publication. He's accepted the art for a new publication that hasn't been titled yet, so it'll be a surprise. Thanks for displaying my art on your website...you make all of us look good. Take care. Stay creative.

Heh, 6 years well spent. It is nice. I imagine the real work looks a lot better. Things with a lot of dots don't scan well.

I must be getting old -- I looked at this for several moments thinking 'I don't get the title'.....then I read the comment about stippling being a combat sport, looked again and..................duh............I GET IT NOW!
Perfect job, just perfect -- making us work to 'get it' -- that's the sign of a talented artist (or a talented anything for that matter).

I have seen a lot of Elfwood, and I mean a lot. But this picture is my favorite. Ever since I was 12 my dad and I have gone elk hunting together. And every year we get up before dawn to get a good place to look around for our prey. And every year I think about how much the knots on those aspen trees look like eyes.
